president obama has been clear and economic development as a priority of u.s. policy. there is an understanding i think, both in the congress and in the administration, but if you begin to create a more coherent approach to give some sense of hope to the people of that region, you begin to change the political dynamic that would advance our cause than that of our allies. there are ways to do it. we've had the example of an africa and the caribbean feast on preferential agreements on a multinational basis. that is one way to begin. we could expand the gps program and make it more effect this, more comprehensive. there's too many areas not covered both nationally and in terms of the product. those are the sorts of things that i think could begin to compose a more rational and effective regional approach and create a sense that we do know we have a stake in the region and we are willing to stick our neck out again by example, by lead to begin to address the political and security issues we have there, not just on the basis of political and security, but on economic streng
